Dream I had Feb. 1, 2008

I had three dreams this night. Two of the dreams were vivid while I dreamed them, but their details became fuzzy after I awoke. One of them had to do with my doing something wrong (not purposely) and it resulted in detrimental feelings from my brother toward me. It had something to do with concrete work and I really ticked off a guy who I was working with. This is where the other dream comes in…. The guy came flying out the door, and I was going to let him hit me because I thought, maybe I had it coming. But before I got hit, my reflexes kicked in and I ducked the guys fist, picked him up and did a back-breaker to him, over my knee. I let him slump to the ground. Then my wife was involved. She was in the car, and I was trying to explain how I didn’t mean to hurt the guy, and she told me all about just who the guy was and that I really messed up because he was friends with all the biker gangs. So I told my wife that I’d make her life easy, then. I told her I’d pack my stuff and move back to NY. This is all I remember of these two dreams.


The next dream was very detailed, and remained that way after I awoke.

We, us Earthlings, were invaded my aliens who couldn’t be killed by anything made of metal. In fact, these aliens could increase their strength by coming in contact with metal.

In the dream, it was dark, and everyone had an eerie feeling something bad was about to happen. Then we heard what sounded like thunder as part of the night sky was illuminated by something that was growing closer. As we scanned the sky for what ever it was, 2 glowing objects came into view. The outlines of the objects seemed to have been dr\awn into the darkness with a neon blue ink. There was an object shaped like an orb that hovered over the left shoulder of a giant robot like entity. The entire robot must have been several hundred yards tall, it’s complete outline came into view as it drew ever closer to where I was standing. I thought I was going to get stepped on, but it stopped directly over me. Then from the top down the giant robot seemed to disassemble setting forth what appeared to be people just like us. But these “people” were hell bent on doing away with us humans.

We began fighting, and quickly discovered metal wouldn’t kill them. I entered a large type tent, one of those you might find on the side of the road from which fireworks, or plants are sold. Anyway, I ran in there and had a small conference with other real people. We devised a plan to attack the aliens with wooden weapons.

Immediately we had success. I ran one guy into a two story wooden structure, upstairs and into a room where after striking him he ran. I found him rubbing a metal figure of Jesus on a cross that was hanging in a bedroom. He was trying to heal his wounds using the metal. I killed him.

Then I saw a little girl, about 6 or 7. She was short for her age, but she was playing with some dolls in front of a dresser. She was an alien and had to die to. A woman who came in tried to kill her first, but couldn’t. I picked up the girl, slammed her on her back on the top of the dresser, grabbed the pointed wooden object from the woman’s hand and plunged it into the girl several times. She bled a white milky substance.

I took her by the arm and walked toward the end of the building where there was a fire escape. Throwing the body down, I saw many other people looking up at me (questioningly) as if I was some sort of leader.

I explained to them how life as we know it has changed forever. I instructed all the people down there that metal objects are now our enemy. We all threw down our jewelry, and pocket change.

This is about all I remember of this dream.

Forward Observer Info

Looking for Forward observer information? If you are looking for forward observer information, let me explain why I entitled this blog as I did.

I try to observe the human condition, especially the American condition from the safe cover of my fox hole; the first amendment. So, I look ahead to see what’s coming at us, by observing events that are happening all around us. Some of these are serious, some humorous, some don’t require telling at all, but something about them compels me.

I’ve included info in this blog pertaining to my military experiences such as fox hole construction, boot shining, rank structure, vehicles, weapons and such to hopefully satisfy those of you who are looking for forward observer information.

If I remember correctly, one of our common tasks was to be able to call for, and adjust artillery fire on enemy targets. It was a simple matter of sending a target grid coordinate, then observing where the first round landed, telling the artillery (via radio) which way to adjust their muzzles: left, right, up, down and what distance to make the adjustments. I’m not sure how this was done, I cant remember. Any way this was the basic function of the forward observer. Another function was to make observations of enemy activities. There was a word: SALUTE that we used as a guide for reporting this information.

S: Size Number of people observed
A: Activity What are they doing
L: Location Grid coordinates
U: Unit insignia, patches, vehicle markings
T: Time What time did you make the observations
E: Equipment Weapons, vehicles, medical, generators, communication
